The sixth panel of this page. Normally, Zenith's crazy evil faces are funny. But here, instead of over-the-top rage, her face sports a Slasher Smile as she creepily sings about shredding our protagonists with her claws.

This page already begins in slightly creepy fashion, with the unlit transporter room. But then we the halls of CK's ship littered with broken MOUSE units, all of them having had their circuits fried despite being otherwise in working order. Then they find one still functioning well enough to only chant "Safe Mode" over and over like a Madness Mantra...

Itgetsworse. From the sheer Body Horror of Fortiscue with glowing Zenith eyes suspended from the ceiling by invasive cables, to the fact that Zenith now has the power to Brain Upload people to do who know's what with. Not to mention the sight of her partially dismantled, her parts strewn about a room with enough cables to make SHODAN look like she's gone wireless.
